Alternative to foreign language
Alternatives to the foreign'
language requirement are
being considered by the Arts
and Sciences Advisory Board.
Arts and Sciences Dean
Robert L. Hough said the three
advisory board students who
also serve on the College Cur
riculum Committee have been
studying the requirement for
two years. The committee itself
only began consideration last
fall, he said.
Advisory board member Don
Stenberg said a proposal from
the Curriculum Committee will
be presented to the Faculty
Senate in April. The proposal
calls for changing the present
pass-fail limit from 12 to 24
hours.
The proposed revision would
also allow sophomores to take
pass-fail courses as well as
juniors and seniors, Stenberg
said. If passed it would allow
colleges to count pass-fail
courses toward group re
quirements. "This plan would allow
sophomores to take their third

and fourth semesters of
language under the pass-fall
system," Stenberg said. "As
another modification, we will
probably recommend that there
be seperate sections o f
language courses for majors
and non-majors."
Hough said several
alternatives are being con
sidered by the study groups.
These might include such pro
grams as allowing a student to
fill his requirement by living in
a language house for a summer
or a semester, he added.
"The advisory board has
been considering changes in the
methods of language place
ment, also," Hough said. "This
would "probably involve a
University placement test of
some kind."
The dean explained that ra
tionalle for the requirement
stems from two sources.
One of the reasons for the
requirement stems from the old
liberal arts tradition, he said.
The study, of languages is
meant to broaden a student's

horizons by the study of other
cultures.
Hough added that many
language courses miss their
mark by not considering
enough of foreign cultures. "I
would personally like to see
beginning language courses be
more than grammar courses"
he said.
Another reason for the study
of language is that educated
men should know more than
one language in order to com
municate better, he added. This
became one of the principal
reasons for language study
after World War II when
Americans realized they were
not nearly as well educated in
language as Europeans, Hough
said.
Dean of Faculties C. Peter
Magrath commented that there
is a need to examine all group
requirements, not just
language. ,
"The language requirement
exists because a judgment was
made sometime in the past that
it should exist," he said. "This
judgment was made In the
context of all requirements."
